Cuse drew parallels between the mystery surrounding the outside intruders and the many mysteries of Lost. "The curtain is kind of right in front of the audience kind of like Lost," said Cuse. "Part of the fun in making the show is teasing out all the details of this world: What are these walls? Who are these people? What's on the other side of the walls?" -HollywoodReporter.com

The series follows a family torn by opposing forces and making difficult decisions as they balance staying together with surviving the struggle of the human race. Set in the near future, “Colony” takes place in Los Angeles, which exists in a state of occupation by a force of outside intruders. Some people choose to collaborate with the authorities and benefit from the new order, while others rebel and suffer the consequences. -TheWrap.com

Cuse, of course, executive-produced Lost with Damon Lindelof, which starred Holloway as con-man Sawyer. Adding to the Lost reunion vibe, Nestor Carbonell, who played the mysterious Richard Alpert, evenmade a guest appearance. Waiting in line in disguise, Carbonell jokingly asked Cuse something that remains a source of debate among Lost fans: "Were they all dead the whole time?" Cuse replied, "No, they were not all dead the whole time. They were all alive--and they all led lives on the island--and they all died sometime later, okay?" -TVinsider.com

“Colony” premieres this October on USA. The series is being heavily promoted at Comic-Con, where attendees can enjoy complimentary rides in a fleet of branded “Colony” military vehicles and SUVs thanks to a partnership between USA and Uber. There are also “Colony”-branded pedicabs and bikes from San Diego’s DecoBike bikeshare program as well as actors dressed in the show’s military fatigue costumes. -Variety.com

Lost star Josh Holloway and co-creator Carlton Cuse are back together in the new USA series Colony. The mystery thriller, which also stars Sarah Wayne Callies, is set in a modern-day Los Angeles that has been colonized by some kind of intruders. “Carlton called and said he had a project I couldn’t refuse,” Holloway said during the show’s Comic-Con panel on Friday. Holloway called his decision to join the show a “no brainer” after reading the script. -EW.com

Ryan Condal revealed that this season is about a family being torn apart by the stress of the occupying force…and the resistance force. Cuse explained that his inspiration for the show stemmed from photos “of the Nazi occupation. There were people sitting at cafes drinking espressos as these Nazi stormtroopers marched by. There was an incongruity. I was fascinated by what we could do in a contemporary setting.” -Deadline.com

Josh Holloway could use a win, y'all, and he's really hoping that reuniting with Lost's Carlton Cuse for USA Network's Colonywill be that win. USA released the first trailer for the series during the show's panel at Comic-Con on Friday, and it looks ... like a trailer starring Josh Holloway's handsome jawline! I kid, but the trailer does little to answer any questions it raises. However, I'm kind of into that. -TV.com
